Concealment and deception were like a huge mountain, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Xia Chuwei said with difficulty: "The week I was kidnapped, actually... I had actually..."

Xia Chuwei's voice was intermittent, and even she herself didn't know what she was talking about.

Huo Yunting's dark eyes narrowed slightly and he said quietly: "What?"

Xia Chuwei clenched her fists and closed her eyes with a determined expression on her face.

"I'm... not clean anymore..."

The air solidified instantly, and the surrounding air pressure dropped to freezing point.

Xia Chuwei didn't dare to open her eyes and see the expression on the man's face.

She was afraid of seeing his disgust, hatred, and disgust.

She knew that the final outcome of telling the truth to him would probably be divorce.

She couldn't wait in the past, but now she has already given up the idea...

Even, I don’t want to get divorced again.

But, she didn't want to lie to him.

Xia Chuwei took a deep breath and said, "Huo Yunting, if you want a divorce..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Chuwei was suddenly hugged.

Xia Chuwei suddenly opened her eyes.

The man held her tightly in his arms, his strong arms making her bones ache.

"I'm sorry." The man's low voice sounded in her ears.

Xia Chuwei was stunned.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered this at all." His voice was very restrained, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

Because of the hugging posture, Xia Chuwei couldn't see the expression on his face. She could only see the two embracing figures in the shadows reflected on the wall.

Like mandarin ducks crossing their necks, they are affectionate and sentimental.

Xia Chuwei's almost frozen heart warmed up again.

She asked in disbelief: "You...don't you dislike me?"

"This matter is not your fault." Huo Yunting let her go and stared deeply into her eyes. "Chu Wei, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you."

At this moment, thousands of words of comfort are not worth the words - "I failed to protect you."

Xia Chuwei's eyes turned red instantly.

Ever since she lost her memory, she has had a lot of prejudice and guard against Huo Yunting.

She had never truly believed in him, and she had never thought of relying on him.

She had indeed had a crush on him.

But those heartbeats are not worth mentioning in the face of the future and reality.

Her choice to divorce Huo Yunting was the result of weighing the pros and cons. It was not a hot-headed impulse, nor was it a result of being disappointed in love.

Any choice she makes is rational and clear-headed.

But at this moment, the cold and desolate heart seemed to be filled with something, and it was no longer so empty.

A thin layer of water appeared in Xia Chuwei's eyes.

The man's handsome face also became hazy and blurred.

Xia Chuwei repeated uncertainly: "Do you really... don't care?"

Huo Yunting stretched out his sharp-jointed fingers and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

His voice was clear and elegant, "This matter is not your fault. You can blame me or the person who kidnapped you, but you should not blame yourself."

He held Xia Chuwei in his arms again, but this time, she was much gentler.

"If you despise and abandon your wife because she has been hurt by an outsider, is that still a man?"

The dam in her heart suddenly collapsed, Xia Chuwei could no longer control her emotions, buried herself in the man's arms, and cried bitterly.

She has never been so vulnerable.

At this moment, she finally dropped all her guard and pretense towards him.

Huo Yunting patted her back gently and comforted her in a low voice: "Cry if you feel sad, I will always be with you."

Xia Chuwei's tears flowed more quickly.

Tears blurred her vision and made her unable to see the world in front of her clearly.

Because of this, she didn't notice the deep and strange look in the man's eyes.
